School College Work Initiative Began 1997 Designed to build and sustain better linkages between the college system and the secondary school system to support expanded and improved transitions by secondary students to college

Graduation Rates The graduation rate increased to 83%, a gain of 1% from 2010-11. Each 1% point increase represents 1,500 students. 115,500 more students have graduated than would have if the rate remained at 68%. This significant success allows us to think now more deeply about what successfully completing secondary school should give our students… A graduation certificate, yes An entry qualification for post secondary learning Preparation for a successful life A sense of their interests , goals, assets / strengths, and ability to learn Good character and judgement An “entrepreneurial” (in full, not just business) orientation (ie. a predisposition to action) 3

School College Work Initiative Led by Directors of Education and College Presidents Goal: to support expanded and improved transitions by secondary students to college Represents 24 colleges and 70 eligible school boards Began with wide variety of activities and forums Expanded to include DUAL CREDITS in 2005-06

Dual Credit Programs 2005-6: 361 students, 36 school boards in pilot projects at 14 colleges Comprised of college-level courses in which carefully selected secondary school students may be enrolled Basically courses count as both secondary and college credits Students who meet the college-level standards in these courses granted OSSD credits as well as college credits Eligible students may take up to 4 non-compulsory OSSD credits Dual Credit Programs - Policy and Program Requirements, 2013 Ontario Ministry of Education Could you refer to the new Policy and Program Requirement guide at this point – audience will have a copy

Dual Credit Student Data Report 2012-13 Source: Ontario Ministry of Education, 2013

DC Student Participation Student participation increased by 16 % over 2011-12 (15,961 students to 18,584 students) Number of programs increased by 11% In 2012-13, approved vs actual student participants was 93% as compared to 80% in the previous year.

Retention Rates Sandra – steady improvement

Success Rates Sandra Notable improvement particularly given the increased number of students.

Target Group Participation by Program Focus 18,584 dual credit students provincially 13,769 in the primary target group (74%) 3,560 SHSM students (19%) 1,255 OYAP students (7%) New for 2012-13, RPTs were asked to identify the main target group by program. This slide shows the relative proportion of programs by main target group. Important that the 3/4 of the programs are for the primary target audience.

2012-13 Retention by Target Group Number of Students Retention Rate Primary Target Group 13,769 86% SHSM 3,560 91% OYAP 1,255 90% Provincial 18,584 87% We were curious to see if students in different target groups were more or less likely to stay to the end of the dual credit – very little variance. Highlights that the right students are being selected for this program – particularly those in the primary target group.

2012-13 Success by Target Group Number of Students Success Rate Primary Target Group 13,769 86% SHSM 3,560 90% OYAP 1,255 Provincial 18,584 We see here that the students in the primary target group clearly have the “potential to be successful” as defined in the policy document as they are doing as well as most other dual credit students.

2012-13 Approved vs Actual by Target Group Number of Students Approved vs. Actual Primary Target Group 13,769 93% SHSM 3,560 87% OYAP 1,255 83% Provincial 18,584 What can we attribute these differences to? Why are programs for students in the primary target group more likely to be filled? [David will talk about approved vs actual in terms of student #’s and finances]

Provincial Dual Credit Footprint 2012-13 (RPT Data) Dual Credits Students Grade 11 and 12 Students 18,584 = 4.8% Sandra [5.3% in 2011-12] [Our target is about 7.5%; Would mean 29,000 students] This footprint is based on the number of dual credit students as reported by the RPTs divided by the provincial number of grade 11 and 12 students. We want boards and RPTs to be able to calculate their individual footprint. For the first time with the 2012-13 approvals, as part of the approvals process, one of the criteria was the saturation by board for new program approvals or expansion of existing programs. In areas where there was a high percentage of dual credits/grade 11 and 12 students, we were less likely to approve expansion or to approve new programs in order to have funds for “underserved” areas. We do want to reach all schools. If there are schools where students in the primary target group do not have dual credit opportunities, RPTs should consider ways to involve these schools. 389,252* * 2011-12 grade 11 and grade 12 enrolment (source: OnSIS)

Students who Earned an OSSD 2011-12 (OnSIS Data) 6,026 students who earned a dual credit (as reported to OnSIS) earned their OSSD in 2011-12 56% of dual credit students (OnSIS data) Grad rate continues to improve The focus of dual credits continues to be on helping students to earn their OSSD For the first time this year, we’re able to present how many students went on to apply and register at Ontario colleges and universities

Number of dual credit students who have applied to go to college (2009-10 and 2010-11 dual credit students) 2009-10 Dual Credit Students 2010-11 Dual Credit Students Total Students in Dual Credits 7,570 12,202 College Applicants – One Year After 1,473 19% 2,458 21% College Applicants -- Two Years After 2,347 31% -- Data on applications and registration is from OnSIS who receives the data from OCAS and OUAC In 2009-10, we know the number of dual credit students is under-represented, particularly in team-taught dual credits Total students in row one represents the numbers submitted by RPTs

Number of dual credit students who have registered for college (2009-10 and 2010-11 dual credit students) 2009-10 Dual Credit Students 2010-11 Dual Credit Students Total Students in Dual Credits 7,570 12,202 College Registrants – One Year After 1050 14% 1842 15% College Registrants -- Two Years After 1852 24% --

College Conversion Rates (2009-10 and 2010-11 dual credit students) One Year After 71% 73% Two Years After 79% -- Dual credit students who apply to college are far more likely to actually register than applicants in general which is typically around 50%.
